Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1 large egg
- 3 tbsp egg whites
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 tbsp plain greek yogurt
- 1 scoop protein powder I use Orgaine Vanilla protein powder
- 1 1/2 tsp chia seeds
- tbsp lemon zest
- 1 tbsp milk of your choice
Cream Cheese Sauce
- 2 tbsp cream cheese or greek yogurt You can use lowfat
- 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
Instructions
- Put everything in the blender except for the chia seeds. Blend it all for 1 minute. Once it is fully blended, add the chia seeds and stir them in. Let the batter sit for about 5 minutes to thicken up more with the chia seeds.
- Pour the batter on a medium heat griddle or pan. Cook the pancakes as you would any other pancakes.
- Heat your cream cheese in the microwave for 15 seconds. Mix in the maple syrup and drizzle on hot pancakes. If you use greek yogurt, you do not need to heat it, simply mix the yogurt and maple syrup together and pour over the pancakes.
- Eat and enjoy! Store any extra in an airtight container or ziplock bag. You can also freeze them!
